Two teams in need of a victory face off on Wednesday in a Matchday 20 fixture when Premier League title hopefuls Nations FC entertain Aduana Stars at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Abrankese.
Nations FC looked to have turned a corner towards the start of December but ended 2024 on a run of just one draw and one win from four games, with that victory coming over a Legon Cities side handing out three points like there's no tomorrow... to everybody apart from Basake Holy Stars.
Match Preview
Aduana ended the year with a 1-0 win over stuttering relegation battlers' Legon Cities and entered this game having won just twice, lost two and drawn twice since January this year.
Nations FC possible starting lineup (4-2-3-1):
Sanon (GK) (C); Abrokwa, Alhassan, Badu, Boahene, Charwetey, Djangone, Grippman, Karim, Kuffour, Sulemana
Aduana Stars possible starting lineup (4-2-3-1):
Inusah (GK); Adams (C), Addo, Bamba, Boateng, Duah, Obeng, Sackey, Silas, Tetteh, Wakii
We say: Nations FC 3 - 0 Aduana Stars
Both sides might be struggling for form, but Nations FC will be supremely confident of tallying up another three points here against an Aduana side who have struggled horribly at the back even before Yaw Acheampong was shown the exit.
Working in Nations FC favour is their imperious home form - Kasim Mingle's side have won three and lost two in their last five league action at Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex - so fans will rightly expect a comprehensive victory.
Nation FC captain Razak Simpson absence - as he's currently in the camp of Ghana's Black Stars may influence the team but the Abrankese side are likely to have enough of the ball to benefit despite his absence.
